This day tour allowed us to see the most of San Sebastian and Basque Coast in one day. There were a lot of incredible sights. We had only one day to visit the Basque Country and we were really satisfied with this tour. Our tour guide Josu really helped us make the most of it. The food was really good with lot of pintxos options to choose and different wines to pair with the food. I would highly recommend txakoli local wine. It was greatt day with a great guide.

All our tours will respect Spanish social distancing rules at all times and the guide will wear a mask in closed spaces. Pamplona is a city with a lot of history to tell, magnificent arquitecture, culture and exquisite gastronomy. Pamplona is also host to the world famous bull race that takes place through the streets of the old quarter up to the bull ring. On this experience we will replicate the race step by step and after we would also discover all the best highlights of this city with an expert guide. Pamplona has a medieval fortress called “la cuidadella”. This fortress has some very interesting history that I will share with you while we walk through it’s gardens, surrounded by its enormous walls. A traditional Basque 3 course meal is included in the highly reputed Cafe Iruña.
Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Bottled water, 2 way transport included, Bilingual British/Basque guide, 3 course meal Is included.

Since we arrived in Spain nearly 2 weeks ago, we have participated in several tours as we traveled across Spain. All very enriching, insightful, and worth while. As the cliché goes “save the best for last!” Jamie, tour operator/owner, picked us up bright and early from our hotel and off we went to Bilbao. Jamie brought along his cousin/operator in training, which we were totally cool with and actually it added another level to the tour. Compared to our other tours, they ultimately felt, for the like of a better word, like tours. You were paying someone to show you around. There was some invisible boundary that separated operator from client, totally fine but it feels fake sometimes. This tour felt different, it felt like a couple friends taking a road trip from San Sebastián to Bilbao. One of the friends being really knowledgeable, Jamie. One of the friend working off that energy, Jaime cousin. The other friends going along for the ride, us. It was refreshing and fantastic. Having conversations as we drove between the two cities made the time whiz by so quickly. That’s a plus! Normally, one of us, fiancé or I, are falling asleep as we get to a destination. Not this time around, Jaime and his cousin were really engaging. Admittedly, I had some doubts that we wouldn’t get a breathe of Bilbao in a day but, I have to be honest, we really felt like we got immersed in the city. He guided us through the streets and history. Showed us local spots and let us on our own at the Guggenheim to take in the art. Afterwards we chatted our way back to our hotel. We could have hung out with both Jaime and his cousin all day. Next time, we are back in town, we will take him up on one of his other tours. Highly recommend having him show you around. Super knowledge and engaging. I can not recommend this tour any higher.

He is insightful, knowledgeable about every tour he takes and a great person on top of it all. DO NOT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY to go on a tour with him.

We had a great time touring Pamplona with Iker. We walked the entire length of the route of running of the bulls and his knowledge of the tradition was incredible. We also toured the church to see the chapel of San Fermin and the fortress and city walls. The highlight of the trip was lunch in the cafe Iruña. Iker recommended the best local food and gave us so much history of Navarra. We also got the insider access to the side bar at Cafe Iruña to get pics with the statue of Hemingway leaning on the bar. A super memorable day for a bunch of Hemingway / Sun Also Rises fans.
